UK postpones further import controls
Existing customs rules remain in force
The United Kingdom (UK) is postponing the tightening of customs regulations announced for 1 July 2022. This applies to all planned veterinary and phytosanitary measures as well as the additional requirement of an ENS (Entry Summary Declaration) prior to transport to the UK. The UK government plans to announce a new control regime in autumn 2022. Its introduction will start at the end of 2023.
Existing customs rules unchanged
Please note! The customs rules that were previously introduced by the UK remain valid. You can read the main points here. All customs rules are laid down in detail in the Border Operating Model of the British government. Make sure you comply with this. In this way, you will avoid cargo being stopped at the British border or already in the Dutch port.
These are the current customs rules:
Effective from 1 January 2022
Effective from 1 January 2021
